Top UN court says countries can sue each other over climate change

The International Court of Justice ruled that countries can sue each other over climate change, potentially leading to compensation claims for impacts like destroyed infrastructure. The landmark decision could hold nations accountable for their historic emissions and breaches of climate promises, with implications for global climate advocacy and legal obligations under the Paris Agreement. Developing countries, especially those vulnerable to extreme weather, see this ruling as a victory that may pave the way for seeking damages from major emitters.
